Educational Benefits

ISDA provides members precedent setting educational programs.

The ISDA Knowledge Center provides a constant learning environment for ISDA members, with subjects specifically designed for the experienced and inexperienced member, all with the goal of increasing a member’s knowledge and marketability. The educational programs are disseminated via blog posts, recorded webinars, videos, and white papers.

The ISDA Philosophy of Sharing Knowledge is not a new concept. For more than 40 years, the ISDA team has researched the protective services profession, supplying the community with White Papers that have become standards in the profession. These Papers are free to members. See ROI of a Security Driver.

For those who are new to the profession, the road map to success is developing a viable business model. Noted business author Peter Drucker defines a Business Model as the answer to the questions: Who is your customer, what does the customer value, and how you deliver value at an appropriate cost.

ISDA offers educational programs that answer these questions, the answer coming from practitioners with decades of success in the profession. We also conducted a series of Constant Learning Programs (CLP) for both experienced and inexperienced practitioners.

ISDA serves the protective services community. The ISDA membership is open to all who have an interest in personal protection.

Whether you are exploring a career in executive protection, honing your expertise, or, you are an established security professional, ISDA is your essential resource for continuing education, benchmark research, and online learning programs, all designed to improve your skill set and advance your business.
